During the study of Genetics, we will discuss Genetic disorders which may be sensitive to students. I have sufficient training on how to teach these topics in a manner that is inclusive and respectful of students that may be affected by a genetic disorder. As a parent of a special needs child, I know the importance of being sensitive to learners that may have a disability that may be a result of Genetics.
